61. Cheat Codes
Half an hour later, Lucheng finally shared a small part of the 'Medieval Cheating Code' with Elena and Nancy.
Lu Cheng also left the tent with Noi first because of work.
Nancy was left alone to look at what she had written in her notebook.
What she had jotted down in her notebook was a blueprint for a type called an arquebus, and the internal mechanics of the firearm, including the internal mechanics of the firearm, were clearly written on the blackboard.
It's a ranged weapon, and Nancy can basically think of it as a tenfold version of a hand crossbow that magnifies its power.
Lu Cheng's description of the power of this weapon makes it clear that 'the lead bullet fired at a range of 500 meters can definitely penetrate the knight's armor, although you may be able to do some magic changes to make it more powerful.' ’
This weapon is very cumbersome to reload, but it is very 'cheap' compared to magic.
Cheap means that even an ordinary farmer who learns how to use this weapon is comparable to a spellcaster who has been rubbing fireballs for ten years!
Lu Cheng is right, this is definitely a cheat code... If this weapon can be mass-produced, Nancy can certainly change the current pattern of warfare.
"Perhaps the arquebus could be replaced with an inscription block that gives the spark property."
Nancy, drawing the new arquebus blueprint in her notebook, follows Lucheng's advice and thinks about how to make the magic work on the weapon.
But at the same time, Nancy's thinking is gradually diverging, if the barrel is enlarged, can it be put in more ammunition and produce more power?
She was in the midst of her inspiration phase when the gaze of a person next to her made Nancy look up suddenly.
"You're looking... Her Majesty Elena? ”
Nancy immediately closed the notebook in her hand, as annoyed as an honor student doing an exam paper to find that the poor student next to her was copying his answers.
But since the other party is the queen of the Scarre Kingdom, Nancy is not good at having a seizure in person.
"Those charcoal portraits you have in your notebook are the real thing."
Elena knew that she had been discovered by peeking, and seemed to want to find a random reason to change the subject.
"Your Majesty, Elena... Don't write it down? These things can be of great use to your country. ”
Nancy glanced at Elena's desk, there was nothing on it or anything like a notebook, and even if there were, Nancy didn't think the other party would draw in as much detail as she did.
She has been in the habit of drawing sketches since she began to learn knowledge, drawing the magical things she sees in front of her, or when she is learning the alchemy formula, she draws the appearance of the alchemy materials and adds annotations to them.
Over time, Nancy's ability to draw is something she can be proud of.
"Well, I can't draw like you." Elena said.
Elena's answer made Nancy breathe a sigh of relief inexplicably, and then very pleasant.
Because the two cheat codes of gunpowder and arquebus are known to the fewer people as possible! Elena has a very close relationship with Lucheng as the queen of Scarley.
In Nancy's eyes, Scarley and Elena themselves can be said to be the most formidable competitors!
"So I just took a picture of what was on the blackboard."
Before Nancy could breathe a sigh of relief, Elena took out the phone that Lu Cheng had given her earlier and showed Nancy the photo she had just taken.
Less than a day after getting her phone, Elena had already mastered the function of taking pictures.
"Take pictures?"
Nancy looked at the glowing slate in Elena's hand, which showed the picture of Lu Cheng standing next to the blackboard after he had just finished drawing the structure of the arquebus.
"You... What did you do? Have you sealed his soul into this tablet? No, even the space ......."
Nancy was instantly startled when she saw the picture on Elena's phone and stood up.
In Nancy's eyes, the image displayed on the glowing stone tablet was so real, as if a real person was imprisoned inside the stone tablet.
"Soul? It's just a photo, just a freeze in front of you, like a very real painting. ”
Elena could only think of this explanation for a while, and Elena was also frightened when she figured out the function of taking pictures this morning, but it was Professor Lin who gave her some explanations, and she realized that what was inside the slate was just a very real painting.
"Paintings?"
Nancy reached out in some wonder and touched the surface of the slate on Elena's hand, which was very smooth... Far smoother than anything she touched.
"This is the little golem they gave you?" Judging by the workmanship alone, Nancy could see that this could not be something produced in the Kingdom of Scarlet.
"Hmm."
After Elena showed it, she took her phone back without waiting for Nancy to ask 'can you show me'.
A little too bad, Nancy realizes that she had miscalculated Scarley's relationship with them.
"Your Majesty Elena, let me take the liberty of asking, have you given them your leyline core?" Nancy pondered for a moment before asking this question.
Lu Cheng gave Nancy the arquebus skills on the simple condition of telling her father... They have come for peace and for the path of cooperative coexistence.
But Nancy really found it hard to believe that after the cooperation, they would not put forward the condition of 'handing over the ground crystalline core'.
This was basically the condition when the Far Southern Empire conquered the countries along its route, so that it could incorporate the other side into its own territory and stop the expansion of the other country's borders.
"Nope."
As she spoke, Elena summoned Scarley, the crystallized spirit of her country, and the bird slowly appeared on Elena's arm.
"It was we who took the initiative to share the energy of the leyline crystals with them, and in return they helped us repel the threat of the Bloodcrystal Beasts and save my people," Elena said.
"That's all?" Thinking of this, Nancy immediately asked Elena, "Your Majesty, aren't you under house arrest from them?" ”
"No, I came with me myself." Elena shook her head and said.
"They have a principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of our country." This time it was the bird on Elena's arm that answered.
"It's too... Kind. ”
Nancy couldn't help but mutter, not only to help them repel the terrifying disaster of the Blood Crystal Beast, but also to save the people of Scarre, doing so much for the purpose of not taking this country as their own, but finding another piece of land to reclaim again.
Nancy can't describe it with good intentions, but she knows that there is another possibility that the other party doesn't like Scarley at all, or... The capture of Scalley did not mean anything to them at all.
But the life in the camp for two days was enough for Nancy to figure out what kind of country it was.
Opportunity! Thinking of this, Nancy's conclusion has been very clear, being able to cooperate with them is definitely a great opportunity for the kingdom of Xiuen Zhelai to prosper, and more importantly, if you don't cooperate with them, the kingdom of Xiuen Zhelai may decline in the near future, which is also applicable to other countries on this continent.
The stronger one country is, the weaker the other, so Nancy must seize this opportunity.
